This appears to be for stock Unity systems.
Many people use hybrid setups, i.e. not running stock Unity. It would be nice to have a way to know:
a) 32-bit or 64-bit
b) Desktop or Server edition
c) which DE is used

cat /etc/lsb-release
Format is like this:
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=11.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=natty
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION=”Ubuntu 11.04″
Provides the same information, but works on nearly all Linux distributions:
cat /etc/issue
